PERfEcT cOUPLE
Interesting first two letters in Prog 84. Looks like Ignacio and Graham have found online happiness with a shared subscription. Personally I don’t go along with either’s view as I love all of it. Graham says “words bore me shitless”– it would be a dull mag without them!
And it’s by far the best free CD with any magazine. I buy CDs by the artists featured after hearing one track, such as I did with Circuline and Kim Seviour.
It’s the more unknown artists, such as the excellent Bellerophon and Koyo, that benefit with getting tracks on the disc as they need the exposure.
I have a Prog mag playlist on my phone of nearly 100 tracks selected from your CDs that I uploaded and titled. I must go back to the last dozen CDs now to update my selection. I’ve been a prog fan for over 40 years and know a lot about the old classic bands, I did so enjoy the Genesis 1971 [Prog 84] article, though. But I love reading about the newer era bands such as Wobbler and Tiger Moth Tales. And I must add that the in-depth and personal article on Anathema was so good (and I was certainly not bored).
So please continue with your fine words and free CDs. The photos and layout go without saying.
